java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 58
I have included TomEE with Eclipse in order to start developing dynamic web projects (I am still new to it).
Before adding the project to the TomEE server, I am able to start it without any problem.
But when I add the project to the server and try to run it I get the error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 58
What I tried to do in order to solve it:
- Changing the server port number
- Deleting and recreating the server
- Checking the
web.xmlfile to make sure the servlet mapping is fine - Reconfiguring the project's target runtime
- Reconfiguring the runtime environments of eclipse
Versions:
- TomEE: v8.0.3 plume
- JDK: 15.0.1
- Eclipse: 4.17.0
Code of the test project
TestServlet.java
package my.test.project;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/plain");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Hello this is a test");
out.close();
}
}

Project Facets
The help would be very much appreciated as I've been at it for quite some time but can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
Thank you.
Solution
You have mentioned your version is JDK: 15.0.1 and the project's Java Facet is 14.
FYI:
- Java 13 uses major version 57
- Java 14 uses major version 58
- Java 15 uses major version 59
- Java 16 uses major version 60
The version can be checked with:
